Fundraise, volunteer, share your story or join an event to support vital SCAD research and awareness.
Join our 5k SCADaddle for Research:
Register to walk, skip or run 5km with family and friends to help us beat SCAD Heart Attacks!
This year marks 1o years of these major fundraisers, and we’ll be walking on the weekend of the 24th-25th October in locations right across Australia! We’ll be walking in FNQ, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Terrigal, Sydney, Cronulla. Camden, Nowra, Canberra, Melbourne, Launceston, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth or walk in your own area anytime in October.
Thanks to a generous QANTAS Side-by-Side grant, the first 400 adult walkers to register will receive a complimentary SCAD T-shirt.
We’re raising money for ground-breaking Australian Medical Research into SCAD, cause of heart attacks in healthy, fit adults. Donations are tax deductible and we’re a volunteer-led charity so every dollar makes a difference.
Recycle for SCAD Research!
Organise a Heart-Felt High Tea:
Host a heart-felt high tea with friends, colleagues or family. Host a heart-themed simple high tea at home, your local school or at the office and raise money for lifesaving research. Heart Attacks are the leading cause of death in Australian women, and SCAD is the #1 cause of heart attacks in women under 50, pregnant women and new Mums.
